Abstract:
 

As a major field of within operations management, supply chain management has seen a tremendous growth in industrial practice and academic research. Its evolution has been propelled by an interesting web of academic-industry interactions. I will give a personal perspective of how this evolution process has taken place. It started with key industry innovations, followed by academic teaching cases which then led to major research initiatives. The resulting research outputs have motivated a new series of industry practice and enterpreneurial activities, and the cycle continues. Such evolution is a healthy one, enabling both academic and industrial advances to take place with much greater productivity and impact.
